APMP process has been conventionally used to produce writing and printing papers. Maragheh Paper Industries Company (MPIC) was first company in Iran which started producing alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp (APMP) on a new Andritz 50000 tones/year at its mill in Maragheh city followed by establishment of another 50000 tones/year in Kermanshah city, Iran. Due to lack of required chemicals for th...

Corn stalk rind (CSR) was treated with Trametes hirsuta lg-9 and then refined into pulp. The biotreatment resulted in loss of paper strength and brightness, but energy consumption during refining (ECR) was reduced. Meanwhile, multiple linear regression was carried out, for which ECR served as the dependent variable, and the yield and infrared relative absorbance intensities at 3414 cm and 1653 ...

− The kilogram is unique among the base SI units in being the only one defined by an artefact. A major problem with maintaining the traceability of the mass scale is the inherent instability of the kilogram artefacts. To resolve the problem, there had been done a comparison of the values of the national standard kilogram of 18 European National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) by National Physical L...

An enzymatic mild acidic hydrolysis was used to separate and purify residual lignin from alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp (APMP). Using the optimum conditions for the laccase treatment (pH 4.5, temperature 50 °C, lignin consistency of 1%, a reaction time of 60 min, and a laccase dosage of 8 μ/g), oven-dried lignin was treated with laccase and in a laccase mediator system (LMS) to explore the m...

In the mechanical pulping process, some process state and product quality variables are difficult to measure on-line. In this paper, soft sensors were used to estimate Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF) and outlet consistency (Cout) after the high consistency refining stage of the alkaline peroxide mechanical pulping (APMP) process. After the secondary variables for modeling that are readily avai...
